So, I watched "The French Connection" again last night, and I have to say, does any film out there have more scenes of walking per foot of stock? (laudatory)

While it's good that the MTA is ordering at least some more R211s with open gangways, they should be the entire order, not only a minority. There's no reason beyond organizational inertia not to move to more passenger-friendly, safer open gangway cars like so many other systems

It was an absolute joy to be a guest on WBAI's Eco-Logic this morning! We discussed a lot of ways to make transportation better, the unthinkable widening of the NJ Turnpike through Jersey City, and more. Listen here!: wbai.org/archive/progra…

My Canadian partner: "I was trying to solve this problem but couldn't remember the log laws..." Me: "In Canada, do they teach Loblaws Log Laws?" Her: "Yes, we have to pay a nickel every time we use them. A toonie once we're out of school..."

Apparently, East Side Access does have a core fan base...

You are all lucky we didn't go with my alternate title, "Penn-ty of Room." In all seriousness, I'm proud of everyone Effective Transit Alliance for this one especially. Lots of vital research and analysis that you won't find anywhere else!

TFW you're in an alternate dimension and everything is slightly different...
